I like this school a lot I think they do a good job of working with their students. Now on the other hand the current p.e teacher for middle school is incredibly biased and rude. He puts on a different face when another staff walks by and it's annoying. He doesn't hide his favorites and doesn't hide the fact that he likes the male students over any female student. He also comments on the size of body some students have whether they're "too thin" or "need to lose a few" it's disgusting knowing a grown man is watching you 24/7 and has in his head what he thinks your size is and if it's good or not. If he weren't apart of the school I'd say it's great but because of him middle school felt awful. The 6th grade teachers are also not good. One especially is rude and lives to make fun of her students. If anything embarrassing happens in one class that teacher will open the door and tell the other teacher and they laugh about it for a good 3 minutes, but they do give out candy. Glad I don't attend anymore.

Not the greatest, brought my children here because of the collage program offered to junior high students but it was cancelled as soon as the 2017/2018 principal Mr.Tapanes started. He is also not supportive of student integration with students with special needs.

I sincerely don't like this school because almost 80% of teachers yell or scream at kids for every thing and the principal knows it but her comments are always " these teachers are the best" she thinks that by saying that it's being fixed. My daughter experience a whole year of screaming and yelling and the principal knew about it but never did or does anything. Teachers don't realize that kids get stress and can't focus because they're always thinking whether if that day they'll be yelled at.

Great school...the principal and teachers are doing a great job. The school now goes from K - 8. Every year the test scores go up.
